bikinis, nudity & the return of super fred
Saw the first one day international between England & India at the magnificent Rose Bowl on 21.08. A game that had everything including some surprises.

viceblogging
Inspired by Ryan who’s decided to give up biting his nails, I thought I’d re-try. Over the years I’ve tried lots of times and failed lots of times.
